Hello everyone,

Just want some of your opinions on domestic refrigeration.

Recently i have had neighbors and friends of neighbors asking if i would take a look at the fridge/freezer and i have always turned it down due to thinking the cost of parts/refrigerant would out weigh the cost of buying a new unit.

I have seen a few white goods companies who will look at the fridge/freezer but always seem to say the compressor has failed, either domestic compressors are not very good or the companies are only interested in the initial callout fee and diagnostics rather than the hassle of fixing the unit?

so my question to you all is, in your honest opinion is repairing domestic units worth the time and money? with the prices of refrigerant increasing it would feel like daylight robbery to the client/customer in my eyes.

Any feedback is welcome.
